“I use coconut oil for practically everything! I always have two jars. One, of course, for the kitchen and the second for the bathroom. I use it to take my makeup off and as an ingredient in my homemade deodorant. I even oil pull – which is where you swish about a tablespoon around in your mouth for 12 minutes. It whitens my teeth and it’s great for my oral health!” said Carla Hall.
